Updated Women Writers List TBR

A couple of years ago, I made a list of female authors that I wanted to either read more from or read for the first time. I made some good progress towards the list, but I thought it was time to revamp and expand that list to motivate myself to read some authors I've been wanting to read for AGES. So here is my new list of fifty three women authors I want to read more from or read for the first time. I'll be keeping track of what I read for this list on my blog tab page titled "Women Writers List" as I was for the other one, and of course, I'll be reviewing the books as well. I wanted to mention that this list could have been much longer, but I left it shorter so that I could add to it as I cross authors off. Let me know if I missed any of your favorites so I can add them to the list! I used my physical TBR, my Goodreads TBR, and this list from Jean's Bookish Thoughts blog to make this list.
